Togashi Yuuta, a boy who used to suffer from chuunibyou, and Takanashi Rikka, who still has the syndrome, made a true contract with each other (that is, they are dating). They are in the middle of enjoying real life to the fullest... or should be. However, Shichimiya Satone a.k.a. Sophia Ring SP Saturn VII, a friend from middle school and the one suffering the most from chuunibyou, appears and turns Togashi's life upside down. And so, a battle between Saturn and Jaou Shingan (True Eye of the Devil King) begins. It's a hilarious, original anime series that will bring out the chuunibyou within you.

The romantic comedy centers around Mizutani Shizuku, a girl who has absolutely no interests except for school and her plans for the future. A boy named Yoshida would be seated next to her in class, but he has been constantly absent for one reason or another since the first day of school. By chance, she is sent to deliver class printouts to him, and that leads Yoshida to believe they are friends.

The school romantic comedy revolves around a second-year high school student named Sorata Kanda who lives in Sakurasou, the dormitory for problem children at Sorata's school. One day, Mashiro Shiina - a cute girl who happens to be also a cosmopolitan, brilliant artist - moves into Sakurasou.

Sorata thinks to himself that he should protect Mashiro from the weirdos at Sakurasou, but Mashiro has a surprising secret: she has no idea how to take care of herself. She gets lost if she goes out, and her room is a complete mess. Sorata's dorm mates designate him as the "master" of Mashiro, and thus, an ordinary boy and a brilliant girl must live like "a master and his pet."

this anime has comedy, a lot of laughter, mild ecchi, romance, and is very inspirational. I really badly want to live the life that these people are currently living right here and right now in this anime

Has some great psychotic characters in this as well as some disturbing romance and some pretty good action too, Yukki finds out that he can't trust anyone

I think people have forgotten that there are actually anime out there that aren't Naruto, Bleach or One Piece..

i'm just gonna point out here, you criticize main stream anime when one piece is on your list and so's fairy tale, which is in my opinion very poor, but hey each to their own, the actual anime you're recommending here sounds promising.

Really cool anime involving a lot of futuristic tech revolving around a world where people's emotions are monitored and if it becomes unstable they are labelled "latent criminals" and taken down by the Public Safety Bureau. The specialised guns they use are badass, definitely worth watching.

Fate/Zero is all about the 4th Holy Grail War which takes place every 60 years. 7 Magi are chosen to fight each other in order to claim the power of the Grail where it will grant a miracle of their choice. In order to help them achieve victory they summon a heroic spirit as their familiar which are powerful warriors chosen throughout history each with a different class (Archer, Berserker, Rider, Assassin, Caster, Lancer and Saber)

Though the first episode may seem slow it's necessary for the introduction of the wars and the families involved for anyone who doesn't know the Fate series. It has many great characters and action scenes
